Good to see that I'm not the only one that notices that the Farmer's Almanac was dead on.

Tons of snow for February, warm and wet April, and an extremely hot July.

Quoth RedHeadPhoneGirl View PostAnd now I remember why rule #1 is in place... thank god i'd rather choke on coffee than get it on my computer! And thank goodness I've still got a few weeks til my journey! Hopefully by then there will be no snow remaining in Florida
2. Weeks? Weeks? I am not normally a betting man (except when it comes to football and/or drinking), but the odds of there snow still being on the ground in a few DAYS in Florida are smaller than Andy Dick being named in a paternity suit.
3. That is snow on the ground. But this being Florida, there will always be snow here. It's just the kind that goes up, not down.

It's being reported that it DID snow in Orlando last night and it COULD snow in Palm Beach / Broward county tonight.
Conditions are right for it now - very cold, and very light precipitation.Quote Dalesys:

It is currently 52F in Key West, with winds blowing cold off the Atlantic at 19 mph. Supposed to drop to 48 or so tonight.
This is not gloating. This is showing that it IS freakin' cold out. When Key West gets THOSE temps, it is cold! And of course, we have to listen to the tourists bitch. Typical conversation goes something like this:
THEM: "It's cold!"
US: "It happens."
THEM: "But it's not supposed to be cold! It's Key West!"
US: "Even we get something of a winter. It's not long, it's not common, but it does happen."
THEM: "But it's supposed to be perfect. It's Key West!"
US: "But it's warmer than you're from, right?"
THEM: "Well, yes, but that's not the point. We were expecting great weather!"
And the part we don't say, but think: "Listen, douchebag. This is the fucking tropics. One defining characteristic of which is unpredictable weather, including it sometimes being less than ideal or less than warm. If you don't want it to be cold when you come here, don't come here in December or January. Because odds are decent that it might be. Come back in September, when it will be nice and warm....and hurricanes may send you home early."
I should point out that the people that bitch about it being cold this time of year are the same ones that bitch about it being too hot at other times of year and/or too rainy when it's rainy. And that last one is what makes me really laugh. What, you were expecting not a cloud in the sky? In the tropics?
Idiots. Fucking idiots.
As I said, not gloating. Y'all get the idiots who can't drive in the snow. We get the idiots who can't understand reality or plan their vacations better, and bitch about things we can't possibly control.

I'm with Irv. Early December, over a foot of snow in a 2 day freakstorm blizzard, an ice storm for Christmas followed by several days of snow, then a mini snow storm this week (about 3-4 inches total) followed the next day by a deep freeze..last night, windchills were nearly -30.You really need to see a neurologist. - Wagegoth

It's official, it snowed in Kendall (Miami), Oakland Park (Ft Lauderdale), and Boynton Beach yesterday.
